‘Give exiles tax breaks’ says OECD

The Government should reorientate tax incentives away from attracting high-earning multinational executives to helping returning emigrants and migrants with their relocation expenses, the OECD recommends.

The think-tank devotes a chapter to analysing emigration and immigration in Ireland and presents recommendations for the country to attract skilled workers.

Migration flows will continue to play a significant role because so-called participation rates, including women, in the labour force remain at comparatively low levels.
